Our work with schools
Raise your students’ career confidence
Today’s school leavers face a plethora of choices. Not every school has the resources to help each student find the way to their dream career. Uptree can help your students reach their full potential.
Uptree was founded by teachers to help talented young people connect to professional networks and career pathways while still at school.
We offer a free careers programme for students aged 16-19 to help them get started on the road to professional success. Through Uptree, students can:
- Access free online courses and support for career development
- Broaden their knowledge of career routes
- Meet with leading employers
- Access unique opportunities and events, including apprenticeships and work experience
Why work with us
Free support
We’re funded by our industry partners, with the aim to support young people from diverse or low income backgrounds across the UK.
Levelling the playing field
We believe that every young person should have access and opportunity to progress their career based on their talent and potential, not their connections or background. We can provide the support your students need to thrive in their future careers.
Achieving careers education goals
The support we provide is a rounded curriculum, helping schools to meet the eight Gatsby Benchmarks (England) and Careers Education Standard (Scotland).
Minimum hassle
